5) The surface water drainage shall be constructed to manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (+40%CC), via attenuated outfall to existing system, and a maintenance and management plan for the scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

The discharge rate from the development will be limited to the equivalent 1 in 1 year rate, or an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards.

Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and maintenance and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with CBC Local policy CC3 to CC5 and the NPPF (2023).

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and the premises and in the interest of road safety and to reduce the number of points at which traffic will enter and leave the public highway.
8) Visibility splays of 2.4m x 43.0m shall be provided at the junction of the access with the public highway before the development is brought into use in accordance with the approved plan no. L-03 rev K. The required vision splays shall for the perpetuity of the development remain free of any obstruction to visibility.

Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off, park and turn outside the highway limits thereby avoiding the reversing of vehicles on to the highway.
13) The refuse collection point located at the site frontage and outside of the public highway and any visibility splays shall be fully implemented prior to occupation of any dwelling and shall be retained thereafter.

Reason: In the interest of amenity and in order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and the premises.
14) Notwithstanding the approved plans, any boundary planting at the site frontage shall be planted no less than 1.0m measured into the site from the highway boundary.

The details shall include a detailed topographical survey of the site and adjacent land. The development shall be carried out in full accordance with the approved details.

Reason: Details are required prior to the commencement of development to ensure that an acceptable relationship results between the new development and adjacent buildings, private amenity spaces and public areas, in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021) and the NPPF (2023).
